How to Watch the NFL Draft 2020: Live Stream, TV Channel, Start Time
The NFL draft 2020 is set to begin at 8 p.m. ET.
As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, this year's event will be entirely virtual. The draft telecast will instead be held at ESPN's studio in Bristol, Conn., and a limited number of hosts will adhere to social distancing guidelines at the network.
Other draft analysts will contribute to the broadcasts remotely, and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will announce draft picks from his home. Personnel from each NFL team will conduct the draft from their homes as well.
The NFL draft will also include a "Draft-A-Thon" to acknowledge the efforts of healthcare workers and first responders who are working to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Bengals hold the first pick in the draft, and they're expected to select LSU quarterback Joe Burrow. Washington will draft second, while the Lions will pick third.
